Respuesta :

Answer:

Adrian's songs played on 9 commercials and 5 movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes number of commercials and y denotes number of movies.

Total number of commercials and movies = 14

So,

[tex]x+y=14\\x=14-y\,\,\,\,...(i)[/tex]

Adrian will earn $40 every time one of his songs is played in a commercial and he will earn $130 every time one of his songs is played in a movie

Total amount earned = $1010

[tex]40x+130y=1010\,\,\,...(ii)[/tex]

Put [tex]x=14-y[/tex] in (ii)

[tex]40(14-y)+130y=1010\\560-40y+130y=1010\\90y=1010-560\\90y=450\\y=\frac{450}{90}=5[/tex]

Put [tex]y=5[/tex] in [tex]x=14-y[/tex]

[tex]x=14-5=9[/tex]

Therefore, Adrian's songs played on 9 commercials and 5 movies.
